There'll never be no peace,
Down here, in babylon.
Till all my brothers here,
Down here, are free.
We no want to be no peace,
Down here, in our neighbours land.
So all we want is to be free,
Like the birds and the bee.

Then we can call you brothers,
Brothers, we will be.
We can break bread together,
The way jah wants us to be.
We can drink and honey,
No wine we need this time.
Then you can be my honey,
Your daddy won't mind.

If you wanna be at peace,
Down here, in babylon.
Could you help to give us back,
Our rights, or try!
Why don't you daughter fall in love,
With me, am i not a man?
Now all we asking you,
Is to make, us free.

Then we can call you brothers,
Brothers, we will be.
We can break bread together,
The way jah wants us to be.
We can drink and honey,
No wine we need this time.
Then you can be my honey,
Your daddy won't mind.

Like the birds and the bee.
